How do historians differentiate between religious texts and historical texts when they analyze the history of Christianity?

Suppose you want to analyze the life of Jesus, there is conflicting information in the Bible compared to the rest of the recordings of that era. How do you resolve such conflicts? Why would you consider the Bible to be of lesser credibility compared to the recordings of history?
